Mueller vs Trump a sartorial view.

New Yorker mag had a brief article about how Mueller's and Trump's suits compare with their personalities. For instance, their watches say a lot about attention to detail vs flash bling.115344p---Copy.jpg91QWBGKSbdL._UL1500_.jpg

Re: Mueller vs Trump a sartorial view.

I liked the comparison from the late '80s.

Margaret Thatcher had an incredibly pricey Omega that she gave to herself.
John Paul II had a pricy Rolex that was given to him.
George HW Bush had a $12 Timex.
Francois Mitterrand had no watch. He had people to tell him the time.

Re: Mueller vs Trump a sartorial view.

Internally, the unmarked movement features some exciting tech exclusive to the Trump brand. The hairspring is actually fashioned out of a strand of Mr. Trump’s real* hair, noted for its impressive resistance against shocks and magnetism. Some large Swiss firms, all of which asked to go unnamed, are reportedly looking into licensing the technology.Each watch will come with a two sirloins from Trump Steaks (it is unclear if the steaks are old Sharper Image stock) and a certificate of authenticity issued from the now defunct Trump University, which is currently being rebranded as a school for young watch makers. The release date is slated for November 9, 2016, and will be available on www.Trump.com alongside Trump Fragrance and Trump Natural Spring Water.
